Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Vaucluse, Gordes, France

Ideally situated in the heart of the countryside, just 1.5 km from the renowned village of Gordes, this remarkable architect-designed house enjoys an exceptional location in the heart of the Luberon. Designed by the architect Émile Sala, whose work was directly influenced by his experience in Le Corbusier’s studio, the property is characterised by its organic design, soft curved lines and a privileged position overlooking the Luberon valley. Renovated in 2003, the house now offers approximately 295 m² of living space, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, together with generous living areas that open onto the surrounding landscape. Its numerous floor-to-ceiling windows and openings frame panoramic views spanning nearly 300° over Gordes, the Luberon, the Monts de Vaucluse, the surrounding villages and vineyards. The property has also been featured in several specialist publications, notably Arts & Décoration and Provence Magazine.



The ground floor comprises: vast, light-filled central living space, with a Breton slate fireplace and wide openings onto the garden; fully equipped open-plan kitchen, extended by a utility room; principal suite with dressing room and adjoining bathroom which includes a bathtub, shower, double vanity and sauna; guest WC. The particularly fluid layout of this floor is entirely free of corridors, making the most of the generous volumes while allowing for multiple aspects and perspectives across the surrounding landscape.



The first floor offers, with unobstructed views: two additional bedrooms; two bathrooms; large office that can easily be reconfigured according to needs; storage room.



The second floor, within its iconic tower, comprises a fourth suite with a small sitting area - once again benefiting from superb views.

Flower gardens, sculptures and expansive lawns surround the house, while several terraces provide the perfect setting from which to fully enjoy the exceptional views. An elegant covered glasshouse of approximately 38 m², arranged as an outdoor dining room, provides a particularly pleasant extension of the reception areas. Overlooking the panorama, the pool area is a key highlight of the property, with a 12.5m x 6m swimming pool equipped with an automatic cover and surrounded by terraces. The outbuildings are completed by a garage-workshop of approximately 25 m² and a carport.
